Smart View

Smart View provides a more modern and intuitive user interface to find and manage documents in the Information Zone. This view provides many of the same features as in Classic View, and is the recommended view for most users.

To switch to Smart View, use the Smart View slider to enable it.
Note: If the Smart View toggle is not available, it means that your administrator has not enabled it, and you can only work in Classic View.

The following modes are available in Smart View:

Mode Description
Document Mode

Use this mode to find and manage documents. You can use the search field to search for documents by text. To narrow down your search results, you can apply one or more filters, such as file type, publish date, and so on.

You can edit documents that you have access to, including bulk editing the properties of multiple documents. When you view the Summary Details of a document, you can view all document details, view and download renditions and previous versions, and see who a document has been shared with. You can also add additional file types in the Renditions section.

Basket Mode Use this mode to view and manage your document baskets. You can search for baskets, and search and filter documents across your baskets. When you view a basket, you have the same actions available for documents as you do with Document Mode.
Email Mode Use this mode to focus only on emails in the document management system. Similar to Document Mode, you can search and manage emails, and share emails with colleagues.
Drawing Mode Use this mode to focus on drawings only. Additional columns display any available renditions, document statuses, and DLM approval statuses. If you manage your drawings in the DLM, you can display only DLM documents using the Show DLM only option.
Image Mode Use this mode to focus on images only, such as photos. Images are displayed as thumbnails, which makes it easier to view and manage them. You can search for images, add images to baskets, edit images, share images, and download images. For information, see Manage Images in Smart View.
Note: This mode only displays image files stored in the DMS. Image files stored in the DLM are not included.
Local File Management Use this mode to manage documents that you are currently working on, including documents that you have not yet published and documents that you have checked out to edit. Additionally, you can create documents from templates, and publish new documents to the document management system.
